Former Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro, has mocked Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), stating that the party is yet to perform.
Moro noted that Nigerians are still hearing the campaign promises of the party while so much is left undone. “Up till now, we are still hearing the campaign rhetorics of the APC instead of seeing concrete action needed to move the country forward,” he said in an interview in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
He then urged Nigerians to give the party some time to deliver on its promises. “We need to allow the APC space to implement its set of programmes for us to see how they will tackle the economy and bring change in political governance in the country.
“It is important to give them space because at the moment they are in charge and if they fail, their failure will affect all of us and, if they succeed, we will all benefit from their success.”
On the alleged desertion of the state by top PDP members, he said it was to allow the ruling government enough space to execute its programmes.
Moro expressed optimism that the PDP would reclaim its mandate in the 2019 elections.
“The party has learnt its lessons and would have devised a new strategy to wrest power from the APC, which has so far failed to bring the expected magic wand to transform the economy.
